Aw Nuts, My Car Wont Start!

I recently read an article from the star tribune about a woman named Hope Wideup. She was driving and had noticed that her turn signals and her windshield wipers didn't work. She pulled over, and opened the hood of her car only to notice that it was filled with walnuts! Hope explains, "There were thousands of them. They were everywhere." Somehow, a chipmunk had found its way into her car, which had been sitting idle for 2 weeks. Hope has had problems with chipmunks before. The chipmunk had earlier stolen a gardening glove from her garage, and put it in her engine. So, Hope thought it was broken and didn't drive it for 2 weeks. Apparently, in those 2 weeks the chipmunk had used her car as a storing place for his walnuts. The repairs cost Hope $242 for towing and repairs.
